Peace Race - "Course de la Paix"
Peace Race - "Course de la Paix" was the biggest cycling race around the World for non-professional racers, which was organized between Prague, Warsaw and Berlin. The first volume was in 1948 and last In 2003. Next three years (2004 - 2006) it was local race in the Czech republic only under the same name. Next years this race was not organized because sponsors was not interested. It was really big and very famous race especially before 1989 and for a few generation of racers it was absolutely top peak their career.
Josef Regec, ex member the Czech cycling team for Peace Race who spent ten days in yellow jersey try to organize this race again under new name "New Peace Race" from 2014. We wish to him success for this idea.
